The project Health Surveys in the EU: HIS/HES evaluations and models (HIS/HES project) aims to support Health Monitoring by producing an up to date overview of methods and contents of existing and planned Health Interview Surveys (HIS), Health Examination Surveys (HES), combinations of HIS/HES, and other population surveys with a significant health component in the member states (MS) and EFTA/EEA countries. The project was carried out under the auspices of the European Commission (in the framework of the Health Monitoring Program / HMP).
This report includes reports from the subprojects carried out during the second phase of the HIS/HES project. The specific aims of this second phase of the HIS/HES project were to identify, define and evaluate survey indicators and measurement methods for the main health status components required for the system of Community Health Indicators.
